Roberto Martinez's side were comfortably beaten courtesy of a Luis Suarez hat-trick at the DW Stadium last time out, meaning they are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

"I think the game was one of those rare events in a season when nothing goes your way," he told the club's official site.

“We can’t use that as an excuse though and we’ll be making sure that in our next game we turn things around from this weekend.
